NCC Group plc Annual Report 2022

Case study

Deliver excellence

Our global customers often seek us out to provide specific skillsets at scale or very broad skillsets at short notice. We deliver on these requirements by leveraging our thousands of consultants spread across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia. One customer based in North America undertakes a steady stream of acquisitions of firms spread across the globe. They trust NCC Group as their security partner, to help assess risk, undertake cyber due diligence, and support with resulting improvement work post purchase. We deliver tangible value creation at each stage of its business lifecycle. They are attracted to NCC Group because of our geographic reach, our global scale and our responsiveness. They simply can’t afford to have delays in deals because a specific skillset is required or because they have to piece together the deal team across multiple geographies, so we step in and work with them to provide whatever is needed. Our expertise helps our customer to fully assess the risks pre-purchase and understand the costs and timescales for undertaking improvement activities. This prevents them from increasing their own risks inadvertently and makes sure they don’t overpay for assets, which might have significant flaws. Our global scale means we can stand up this sort of broad experience quickly and tailor the engagement based on what we find – and the customer’s risk appetite.
